Answer:

16.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

circumference of circle = 2πr ( r is the radius )

Here radius = 2.6 ft

Circumference:

  • 2 * π * 2.6
  • 5.2 π
  • 16.3 ft

Digram :


\setlength{\unitlength}{1cm}\begin{picture}(0,0)\thicklines\qbezier(2.3,0)(2.121,2.121)(0,2.3)\qbezier(-2.3,0)(-2.121,2.121)(0,2.3)\qbezier(-2.3,0)(-2.121,-2.121)(0,-2.3)\qbezier(2.3,0)(2.121,-2.121)(-0,-2.3)\put(0,0){\line(1,0){2.3}}\put(0.5,0.3){\bf\large 2.6ft\ cm}\end{picture}

Given :

  • radius of circle = 2.6 ft


\\ \\

To find :

  • Circumference = ?


\\ \\

Solution :-

We know :


\boxed{ \rm Circumference_((\sf circle)) = 2\pi \: radius}


\\

So:-


\dashrightarrow\sf Circumference_((\sf circle)) = 2\pi \: radius \\


\\ \\


\dashrightarrow\sf Circumference_((\sf circle)) = 2 * (22)/(7) * 2.6\\


\\ \\


\dashrightarrow\sf Circumference_((\sf circle)) = 2 * (22)/(7) * (26)/(10) \\


\\ \\


\dashrightarrow\sf Circumference_((\sf circle)) =(44)/(7) * (26)/(10) \\


\\ \\


\dashrightarrow\sf Circumference_((\sf circle)) =(1144)/(7 * 10) \\


\\ \\


\dashrightarrow\sf Circumference_((\sf circle)) =(1144)/(70) \\


\\ \\


\dashrightarrow\bf Circumference_((\bf circle)) =16.34~ft\{approx\} \\
